The article attempts to trace the sources of “polonophilia” in the Soviet culture of the sixties and to consider the strategies of the representation of the Polish text in Russian literature after the Khrushchev Thaw on the material of Stanislav Kunyaev, Boris Dubrovin and Emil Janvarev’s poetry. The special influence on the formation of the geo-cultural image of the Polish People’s Republic in this period is discussed in the context of Polish cinema (in particular Andrzej Wajda’s film Ashes and Diamonds).

The final chapter of Russomania explores how the war and the Russian revolutions of 1917 transform the role of Russian literature for British-based writers. The first part of the chapter examines debates about Russian and French literature in The Egoist, the home of imagist poetry. It focuses in particular on the emergence of style as a key criterion of literary modernity, championed by the editors Richard Aldington and T. S. Eliot, and the process of its rejection as materialist by Egoist contributors, John Cournos and John Gould Fletcher. Their aesthetics take on a particular, anti-Bolshevik pertinence in the wake of the October Revolution, which Cournos witnessed as a member of the Foreign Office’s propaganda bureau in Petrograd. The chapter surveys British knowledge of the Russian revolutions and early Soviet culture, and analyzes the literary response they elicited..

The article aims to analyze how Dostoevsky’s works were perceived and presented in the Soviet ideology and philosophy. Contrary to some commonly held views, it is shown that despite the restrictions, there was never any talk of a complete ban or non-publication of Dostoevsky’s works in the Soviet times including the Stalinist years. Indi­vidual works of Dostoevsky as well as collections of his works were actively published in those years. The author explores the presence of Dostoevsky in the school literature program as well as the perception of Dostoevsky’s legacy by the Soviet leaders – V. Lenin and J. Stalin. It is concluded that the official ideological position in relation to Dostoevsky was never devoid of dynamics even in the Stalinist years. Among the factors that Soviet ideologists noted as positive in Dostoevsky, the author identifies the following three: Dostoevsky’s allegedly revolutionary past, his humanism and fervent sympathy for the humiliated and offended, and his great skill of an artist and expert in the secrets of the human soul. The author also discusses the perception of Dostoevsky’s work by the Soviet philosopher E.V. Ilyenkov. The author sets the task of further research into the perception of Dostoevsky in the legacy of other creative Soviet Marxists and / or publicists of the sixties – G. Lukach, M.A. Lifshits, Yu. F. Karyakin, etc.

This study is a part of investigations of trends and factors in the development of psychology in Yugoslavia since 1945. Tabulation of translations from the major international languages, viewed as indicators of the available sources of information and of the currents in international relations and cultural “climate,” suggests that the Russian literature dominated the scene during the early post-war years, followed by a French and a German wave in the 'fifties. The American literature came into prominence in the 'sixties.

Although the name of Rubens was included in the canon of well-known Western European artists in the Russian 18 century and his style was quite recognizable, an appeal to the artistic poetics of Rubens was rare, and Rubens’s eccentricities, created by Valery Bryusov and Nikolai Oleinikov, are full of ambiguities and obscure places. The article clears up all these obscurities based on the enlightening notion of Rubens as an artist capable of only a local mimesis, of portraying the life of Flanders, but not of a classic imitation of nature. This thesis was adopted by Pushkin and Dostoevsky and gradually acquired a moralistic and historicist meaning: Rubens depicts the characters, not the nature of a person, which means that he portrays the vice mainly and draws the viewer into the vicious circle of vice. The reevaluation of Baroque art at the beginning of the 20th century and the symbolists’ dreams of immersive theater required a different look at the audience’s involvement, thereby turning Rubens into an artist who could simulate the revolutionary activity of the crowd. At the same time, Pushkin’s idea of Rubens as an artist of arbitrariness, and not freedom, supported by the cultural image of Paul I as a collector of Rubens, was retained in Russian literature of the twentieth century.

Prosaic notes by Mandelstam and Kаrabtchiyevski selected for critical reading contribute to the Armenian text in the Russian literature (Alexander Pushkin, Valery Bryusov, Sergey Gorodetsky, Andrei Bely, Anna Akhmatova, Vasily Grossman, Andrei Bitov). A methodology adopted in the article enables analyzing the postcolonial awareness of travelling authors expressed in the two works, and its origin one should look for in the position of an outsiders in the Soviet culture. The autobiographic narrators — Mandelstam and Karabtchiyevsky — seem to be fully associated with a frequently tragic experience of a centuries long colonial domination suffered by Armenians. While the attitude of the author of the Journey to Armenia is supported by exceptionally broad knowledge about history and culture of the country, the main role in Longing for Armenia is played by well-motivated ethical emotions of the traveler.

‘Russkiy malchik’ – the hero of contemporary Russian literatureThe aim of this article is to present certain processes in contemporary Russian literature and the new hero of this literature. Russia literature after the collapse of the Soviet Union changed its position in the post-soviet culture. This was the result of cultural changes in this area. Some Russian critics noticed that a crisis in Russian literature had started at the beginning of the 90’s. Although Russian literature moved from the centre to the periphery of culture, this is, however, not crisis literature. It is literature that exists in times of crisis and with a new point of view describing the surrounding world. ‘Russkiy malchik’ – the new hero of Russian literature searches for his identity in a world that has changed unpredictably. He appears in the novels and dramas of present day Russian writers: postmodernist Victor Pelevin, realist Zahkar Prilepin and sentimentalist Evgeniy Grishkovec. These writers present different styles, generations and literary genres but their heroes are prone to the same problem: How to exist in a reality that they do not understand or accept.

Photoelectron microscopy is as old as electron microscopy itself. Electrons liberated from the object surface by photons are utilized to form an image that is a map of the object's emissivity. This physical property is a function of many parameters, some depending on the physical features of the objects and others on the conditions of the instrument rendering the image.The electron-optical situation is tricky, since the lateral resolution increases with the electric field strength at the object's surface. This, in turn, leads to small distances between the electrodes, restricting the photon flux that should be high for the sake of resolution.The electron-optical development came to fruition in the sixties. Figure 1a shows a typical photoelectron image of a polycrystalline tantalum sample irradiated by the UV light of a high-pressure mercury lamp.
